Do you reread books?
There are a select few books I love to go back to (Harry Potter, Twilight etc). So I recently decided to start rereading some others. I have list in my bullet journal of all the books I want to get back into this year. These three are towards the top of my list! #februarysbooks18 - day 13

A mystery with good suspense.🤤 As if I'm peeling back the layers of an onion. It keeps me guessing till the end, with different scientific fields and history involved. The terms and explanations are a bit rushed and complicated tho, so I can't understand them completely. Some technical info I just skimmed through It shows the thorough research the author has done I guess, which makes the story believable. The human relations in the characters’ workplaces are realistic and contribute to quite a part of the plot.

I like the main characters enough and know about them. The personality of the protagonist Malcolm can be shown by his narrative. Sad thing is I am not very emotionally invested. The style is too matter of fact and direct, like a statement because it's written as an article for the news. I love the surprising ending, telling us the purpose of the whole piece, which is to reveal the truth and warn us about selfishness.

Overall, The Enemy is a mix of Lee Child and Dan Brown, but not as good since it is relatively too short (only 288 pages) for such a sophisticated plot. It is enjoyable and teaches a great moral lesson. Not a light read tho.
Rating: 3.8/5

How did you come up with your pets name?
Here’s my bunny and his namesake! I first met my little bunny a few days after he was born. As soon as I saw him I knew he had to be mine. The first time I held him was when I decided to name him Winnie. It just felt like the perfect fit for him! #bookishgalsfeb18 - day 15
